Pumpkin Thanksgiving card

Hello everyone, and a very warm welcome to Natalie and Cathy who have joined us as recent new followers. I hope you find something to interest you here and I am so glad to have you on board.

My card for today is a Pumpkin Thanksgiving card



I used a pumpkin stamp from a set called Hallow's Eve by Lizzie Anne Designs which was kindly given to me by Margaret a few years ago. I coloured it with Copics and as my colouring skills leave a lot to be desired, I was quite pleased with how it turned out. I stamped it onto a Half and Half die cut from Papertrey Ink and I added it to a panel with a few big cross stitches on the top. I stamped the greeting across the panel and added some spots with a little glitter to add to the warm glow.

I'd like to enter this into the challenge at Casology where the key work is 'Pumpkin',
and into the Tuesday Throwdown which is Pumpkin Patch. I'm also going to enter it into the Casual Fridays challenge which is to use stitches on a project.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs
